Chapter 50: A New Business Different from the Past
A halfway point on the mountainside with no reclamation value.
In the afternoon.
With a total of more than a dozen people such as Zhao Gang, Monk Wei, Wang Gensheng, Zhang Dabiao, Huang Baowang, etc., Li Yunlong, who came along the mountain road, saw Chen Fan and the two big men beside him from afar, as well as the mountains of materials piled up between the rocks.
"Haha, Brother Chen, I haven't seen you for a long time, I miss my brother."
kept talking, Li Yunlong's eyes kept carefully looking at the pile of materials behind Chen Fan
There's canned meat, and there's a lot of it...
The other packaging looks like it should be grain, and the quantity is definitely dozens of tons more...
Grand Master Li's eyes flashed with surprise.
This meeting, firstly, is to discuss the specific content of the next business, and secondly, for the purpose of confidentiality, to change the place of delivery of materials. The previous place, although it was very close to Yang Village and suitable for transportation, knew too much in the group, and everyone was mixed, which was inconvenient for him to hide the materials in the three caves of the cunning rabbit.
It's just...
What is the situation with these supplies?
Last time, I didn't say that there were materials for him before this business.
Is this a deposit?
Just like the previous business in Shuangfeng Town?
Thinking of this, Li Yunlong licked his lips, his eyes were a little hot.
Dozens of tons of material deposits, such a large sum, you can imagine how difficult this business should be, naturally, the more business, the higher the income, his mysterious cheap brother, has always been very generous.
"Go, bring all the big mules in the regiment."
Li Yunlong looked back at Huang Baowang:
"There are a lot of these supplies, and they must be transported by big mules."
"Be careful with secrecy."
After seeing the huge amount of materials, Grand Master Li directly asked Huang Baowang to go back to the regiment headquarters to pull the transport team, as for whether these materials were given to him, does this still need to be asked?
"Yes!"
Huang Baowang immediately rushed to Yang Village with more than a dozen soldiers.
"Brother Yunlong, this place is good, and the secrecy is very high."
Waiting for Li Yunlong to get closer, Chen Fan looked around.
The mountain is not high, unremarkable, and the mountain is basically made of rocks, a hoe digging down only a thin layer of soil, no reclamation value, naturally few people come, plus there is only one way up the mountain, the land is easy to defend and difficult to attack, this place is extremely suitable for hiding materials warehouse.
"Haha, that's natural, this is a secret warehouse I specially selected."
After Li Yunlong laughed, he looked at the materials behind Chen Fan, rubbed his hands with a very embarrassed look, and said in a sincere tone: "This is, for my brother?" โ
"Yes, it's all for you."
Chen Fan patted the grain bags stacked behind him: "There are three hundred barrels of canned meat, fifty tons of cornmeal, and another fifty tons of white flour and fifty tons of rice that have not been delivered." โ
"One hundred and fifty tons of grain, three hundred barrels of canned meat."
Grand Master Li's eyes narrowed, and a deep shock and joy flashed.
Monk Wei, Wang Gensheng, and Zhao Gang around him were not much better, with the same shocked and joyful expressions.
This batch of grain is really raining in time!
To this day, it is not the weapons that limit the further development of the independent regiment, but the spare rifles are still in the hundreds, which is enough to form another battalion. It's not an officer, all the grassroots officers promised by the superiors are already in place, and they are replenished every quarter, and it is enough to form another battalion. Not to mention soldiers, some of them are men who want to join the Eighth Route Army.
What really restricts the continued expansion of the Independent Regiment is the food...
Because of the destruction of the devils, because of the war years, the grain production in the base area is actually not much, even if the independent regiment that hangs the nearby devils to fight, it is the same.
Now, the food problem has been basically solved.
One hundred and fifty tons of grain, and all of them are staple foods.
Staple food.
Even during the combat period of heavy physical exertion, two catties per person per day is enough.
With this batch of grain, plus those in its own stockpile, the independent regiment will be able to become a large regiment with more than 3,000 people in number and a strong devil wing in combat effectiveness in less than three months.
"Haha, I'm not welcome to that brother, food is really in short supply to me."
Li Yunlong's face was full of smiles.
"Thank you, Brother Chen Fan."
Zhao Gang also hugged his fists and thanked him.
"This is, the deposit for this business?"
Li Yunlong asked.
"Nope."
Chen Fan shook his head: "This is the business harvest of the last time you shelled Taiyuan Airport, brother." โ
"Shelling Taiyuan Airport?"
Li Yunlong was stunned for a moment, and was a little puzzled: "Didn't you say it last time, isn't that a business?" โ
"Shelling the devil's airport and getting devil's gold is certainly not a business."
Chen Fan paused and continued: "However, brother, when you were shelling the airport, you easily killed fifteen devil pilots, this is business, a long-term business. โ
"Long-term business? How do you say that? โ
Li Yunlong came to be interested.
"Devil pilot, this thing is scarce, so as long as it is a devil pilot killed by your troops, brother, the price is fixed, ten tons of staple food, and twenty barrels of canned meat."
Chen Fan lived like a profiteer, and his tone was full of temptation:
"This business is valid for a long time, and there is no limit, brother, I will give you as much price as you kill, and I will never owe it."
"And..."
Chen Fan accentuated his tone:
"If the devil plane is knocked down in flight, the pilot inside will triple the staple food in the price."
"It's a good business!"
Grand Master Li's eyes lit up suddenly.
The devil pilot is difficult to deal with, but it is only difficult to deal with, as long as the price is enough, then he dares to let go of his hands and feet.
Ten tons of staple food, twenty barrels of canned meat, this price is enough.
Not to mention the triple number of devil pilots who fell from the sky, that is to say, killing a devil pilot has thirty tons of staple food, which is enough for the independent regiment to eat and chew for half a month.
Today's independent regiment already has the means to deal with devil planes. Nearly 100 Bren types with high-altitude tripods capable of shooting at the air were defeated and shot down when the devil fighters strafed at low altitudes.
Besides.
Your devil pilot is difficult to fight in the sky, and you may not be able to shoot down if you waste bullets, but you can still stay in the sky? As long as you get off the ground, it's a bullet thing.
Ten tons of staple food was enough for the brothers of the Independent Regiment to eat for five days.
"In addition, this is more than business, devil tanks and armored drivers are also counted, but the price is a little lower, there is no canned meat, only staple food, a devil tanker is only worth three tons, and an armored driver is worth a ton of staple food."
"Hey, hey, I like this business."
Grand Master Li licked his lips, already a little impatient: "Don't say anything, Brother Chen Fan, you can prepare enough food, don't have enough food when the time comes." โ
"I can't help the planes, but the tankmen and armored drivers, hehehehe, I can kill at least fifty of them."
Monk Wei touched the two huge desert eagles on his waist and interjected.
He tried this shot, and within fifty meters of the distance, the devil's little bean Ding tank could easily penetrate it, and as for the armored vehicle, it was not to mention, one shot was accurate to a hole.
"Okay."
Chen Fan said aggrievedly: "No matter how much you kill, brother, I promise that there will be no shortage of grain." โ
Can you still drain the system?
Besides, the devil is just a pilot and a tankman, how many can you killยทยทยทยทยท
"So, then, let's get down to business."
Chen Fan's face was straight, he took out a stack of clamped papers and handed it to Zhao Gang: "This is the specific information of the business we are going to talk about this time, but this time the business is a little different from the previous one." โ
As for why he didn't hand it to Li Yunlong directly, there is no need to say much.
Li Yunlong also restrained his grinning expression, and looked at the document in Zhao Gang's hand seriously.
Whether it is a devil pilot or a devil tanker, it is not easy to deal with, the plane flies fast in the sky, the tank has thick tank protection, if you want to kill them, then you need weapons, you need ammunition.
And the next business determines whether he can get enough weapons and ammunition.
"Brother Yunlong, I'll go first."
Chen Fan had already written the price code in the information, so he planned to leave directly, anyway, he believed that the contents would make Grand Master Li full of enthusiasm: "Tomorrow, I will come to deliver the remaining 100 tons of grain, and the location will not change?" โ
"Okay."
Li Yunlong withdrew his gaze from the information in Zhao Gang's hand and nodded to Chen Fan: "It's still here, and it's convenient for me to hide." โ
As for the old rule, it is to wait for the signal to be received before sending people to receive supplies, and it is absolutely impossible to send people in advance. Anyway, everything in hand was real, and Grand Master Li suppressed his curiosity.
After Chen Fan left for a long time, Zhao just pulled his gaze away from the thick stack of papers.
By this time, the night had begun to thicken, and the sky was gray.
"How's it going, Lao Zhao?"
Grand Master Li couldn't wait to ask.
Chen Fan mentioned a long time ago that this time the business needs the help of the brothers, coupled with the last sentence just now, Li Yunlong had a hunch that this time the business would be extraordinary.
The scene must be very big.
"This business is really different from before."
Zhao Gang smiled, both in tone and expression, that he was very interested in this business: "However, the income is indeed very high, although the process is dangerous, but it is worth it." โ
"Oh?"
Li Yunlong raised his eyebrows, and his tone couldn't wait:
"Tell me more about it."
It seems that in the future, when learning cultural knowledge, you will have to use dim sum.
At this time, Grand Master Li regretted that he was not serious when he was studying, which caused him to read many complex intelligence materials and his level was seriously insufficient, so he could only ask Lao Zhao to read it first, and then relay it to him.
"Captain..."
When Zhao Gang was about to speak, Huang Baowang and a dozen or so warriors came with nearly a hundred big mules.
The big mule is docile and obedient, full of endurance, and a dozen warriors can drive nearly a hundred horses.
"Then let's go back and talk about it."
Anyway, the business can't run away, so Li Yunlong is not in a hurry: "Transport this batch of grain and canned meat to the warehouse for storage first." It's a few kilometers away from our secret warehouse! โ
Grand Master Li is so shrewd.
Even in the face of Chen Fan, he kept a hand.
This was not his real secret warehouse, but the No. 1 secret warehouse in the regimental headquarters where there were more people who knew about it, and here were just some empty ammunition boxes, and some captured unimportant weapons and ammunition, as well as some food reserves.
"There are big mules, and the transportation is fast, and it's almost night, so you don't have to worry about being discovered."
Dozens of tons of grain made Huang Baowang full of energy.
It's all staple food here.
Eat staple foods that are resistant to hunger.
As for the weight of dozens of tons, if it is carried by pure people, it is enough to choke, at least hundreds of people can do it, the road near the secret warehouse is difficult to walk, and no matter how strong a man is, it will be the limit of a hundred catties.
And with a big mule is completely different, these partners, on a camel with a weight of three hundred catties, there is no difference between this mountain road and the flat road, and the speed is still fast, he brought eighty big mules and horses this time, two-thirds of the regiment, one trip can transport twelve tons, even if you add canned meat, these dozen of them can be done in one night.
"The warehouse is big enough, it's dozens of tons of grain."
Li Yunlong was a little worried that his secret warehouse was not enough: "Moreover, there will be another hundred tons transported tomorrow, can you put it down?" โ
"I should be able to put down a large part of it, about 100 tons, and the rest can be put into the group, and I have to eat it anyway."
Huang Baowang thought for a while before replying:
"Although I have been digging warehouses with people as soon as I have time recently, there are now five small warehouses, but after all, there are few people, and I have to lay waterproof and moisture-proof wooden shelves, which is relatively slow."
"Hmm."
Li Yunlong nodded and instructed: "It's okay to slow down, secrecy comes first, the number of people can't be increased, and in addition, you must do a good job of concealment, so as not to be discovered." โ
Then, he looked at the monk: "Monk, you don't have to follow me next, anyway, there is no combat mission recently, you come here every night to help Huang Baowang dig the warehouse." โ
"Hey, okay."
The monk readily agreed.
The soldiers who come here to dig warehouses are all selected from the special squad, and when they go out under the pretext of training, they will bring their own dry food, and they can eat meat for every meal, which is a treatment that the regiment headquarters does not have.
Then everyone began to get busy, first putting barrels of canned meat on large mules, and then walking to the secret warehouse of the independent regiment under the cover of night.
Grand Master Li and Zhao Gang did not talk about the new business, but set their eyes on the bags of grain.
"I didn't pay attention just now."
Li Yunlong touched the outside of the grain packaging bag, smacked his mouth, and exclaimed in an exclamatory tone: "The packaging of these grains is actually cotton cloth, this thickness can be directly made into clothes, it is really fucking rich." โ
"There is also a layer of waterproof and moisture-proof tarpaulin inside, this packaging, as long as the grain is dry enough, it will be no problem to put it for two years."
Zhao Gang's tone and expression were the same.
The two of them are like countrymen in the city.
After thinking about it, Li Yunlong tore open a bag of grain, revealing the dry and pleasant-looking corn kernels inside.
"Good grain, in the market, the price of this thing is at least fifty percent higher than usual."
Grand Master Li, who had been a bitter peasant, let out a long sigh.
